Is the Clippers finished? Whether there are small cards or not is a one-round game

The Clippers ended so sloppyly in the last game of the season, which is really shocking. In the playoffs in the first two seasons, the Clippers were injured and missed the playoffs, and the Clippers were both out of the first round of the playoffs. I thought the Clippers had a healthy small card this year and made a difference with Harden, but the result was still an out of the first round. I couldn't help but ask: Is the Clippers finished?

To be honest, the confidence of Clippers fans in the playoffs is often not Harden, because many people know that Harden always performs unstable in the playoffs. He often performs 2 to 3 games in a series. As he gets older, Harden's lower limit of scoring is getting lower and lower, and there are often single digits of scoring. But Clippers fans still have expectations for the playoffs because they have healthy little cards this season. The picture of the "God of War Card" that led the Raptors to win the championship in the 19th playoffs is still emerging in the minds of fans. Since coming to the Clippers, Xiaoka has also performed very explosively in the playoffs many times, so the healthy Xiaoka is the confidence in the hearts of the Clippers fans. However, facing the Nuggets this season, Xiaoka only played the "God of War Card" in G2. It can be seen that Xiaoka has also experienced a significant decline in age and injuries.

Harden and Xiaoka, who are healthy this year, were eliminated by the Nuggets 4-3 in the first round alone. Next year, Harden and Xiaoka are 1 year older, and their dual-core age is getting older, and their physical condition may not be able to maintain better than this year, which inevitably makes people more worried about the future of the Clippers.
